Charley Pride RIP

Dead at 86 from complications of COVID-19.  Great guy, great singer, great performer.

Anyone named Charley is ok in my book. RIP.

A great loss to the country music world.  On November 11, I watched him perform at the Country Music Association Awards, where he received the Lifetime Achievement Award.  It's shocking that he's gone a month later.  Sadly, he may have contracted the virus at the awards ceremony.

Grew up in the late 60s through the 70s.  Parents were big C&W music fans.  Heard a lot of Charley Pride in the mix.  Always enjoyed it.  He lived a long & fruitful life.  R.I.P.

He was a brave pioneer in the C&W world. I’ve always respected him a great deal.
